Taking the queue this post by Georgealbert I have prepared this translation of the announcement in the Royal Gazette as a PDF file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12Zn4PQT7dlqS39lhdeEd6HIGXsAeEG8Z/view?usp=drive_link

Thank you.

The Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs will have to update the following page, among others: https://consular.mfa.go.th/th/publicservice/111192-รายชื่อประเทศ-ดินแดนที่ได้รับการยกเว้นการตรวจลงตราเพื่อการท่องเที่ยว-และสามารถพำนักอยู่ในราชอาณาจักรได้ไม่เกิน-30-วัน?cate=5ddbe42115e39c4768007d71

All's well that ends well. There's been a lot of suspense since pronouncements by government officials started in May that this new visa-exempt 60-day permission to stay would start on 1 June.

In what Thai font is this document written? https://ratchakitcha.soc.go.th/documents/37565.pdf Normally, I can copy-paste from a PDF text document to a Microsoft Word document or into https://translate.google.com/ but not with the above document. What is the problem here?

Congratulations. You have won the challenge I issued in this post in another topic.

Thank you for this highly interesting information. If I understand this correctly, technically and legally speaking, ม.17 does not replace ม.30. Instead, the countries in the ม.30 list plus many additional countries are added to a ม.17 list. I guess the upcoming official publication of the announcement will shed light on this.

That's good news. Implementation of new immigration rules based on news media reports and the bamboo telegraph. Should help save some face.

Once the new 60-day visa exempt stay is implemented, let's see if the MFA update the list of countries for the visa on arrival.

Precisely. He got at least this right.

Another government official, this time the Prime Minister, staying "visa" when he means permission to stay.

It's usually the Minister of the Interior who signs off announcements on immigration matters. If something was signed today, it will hopefully show up in the next issue of the Govt Gazette which should come out this Wednesday.

The AseanNow forum allows posting the link to a Facebook post as citation of the source. Do you know how to do this?

What nationality? I'm asking because nationals of a few countries have been getting visa-exempt 60 days under separate rules already for years. Can't find the list on the MFA website anymore.

Perhaps signed by the Prime Minister today, but apparently not yet published in the Royal Gazette. It seems that the Gazette is published weekly, on Wednesday.

Probably — Publication in the Royal Gazette — Simultaneously or later, publication of detailed rules and regulations for the implementation Wait and see.

Have someone at your SCB branch show you how you can print out a bank statement.

Thank you very much.

The OP got his answers, despite the inaccurate information he originally posted, and this topic is now closed.

As you have chosen not to post the two dates shown in the arrival stamp or even better a copy of the stamp, all your protestations are futile and useless. This topic is now closed.

There iss already a topic running dedicated exclusively to the DTV.
